Speaking about the event Mark said: ‘The awards was one of great success and encouragement to all new engineers, and showed just how much respect and support the UK recording producers and engineers have from the rest of the music sectors. It is a very challenging role and one which requires constant excellence. The awards celebrate all that is best in the British recording industry.’
